In an interview on the viral “WIRED” channel, Cena dropped a delightful bombshell. A curious Twitter fan inquires whether he owns the iconic Vanilla Ice ensemble from that fateful Halloween episode of SmackDown in 2002. Cena’s response was candid and endearing. 

He admitted, “I never owned that costume. I didn’t own the wig, I didn’t own the gold chain. I didn’t own the jacket. It was lovely I wish I had it. Because I would walk around most of the days wearing this thing, it is one of the most attractive photos of me ever taken. Whoever does own this costume, if you are a business and renting it, I have some money, and I may want to rent it for private or public time.”
